RADIATING STOVE AND DRUM.

Specification forming part of Letters Patent No. 58,811, dated October 16, 1866.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, GEORGE D. GREEN- LEAF, of Depauville. in the county of Jefferson 7 and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Radiating Stove; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable others skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which-- Figure 1 is a vertical central section of my invention, taken in the lineww, Fig. 2; Fig. 2, a horizontal section of the same, taken in the line g y, Fig. 1; Fig. 3, a vertical section of the upper portion of the same, the plane of section being at right angles to that of Fig. 1.

Similar letters of reference indicate like parts.

This invention relates to a new and useful improvement in fines and valves or dampers, as hereinafter fully shown and described, whereby the direction of the products of com bustion may be controlled in such a manner as to cause a large volume of heat to be radiated from the stove, and at the same time a direct or a partially direct draft allowed, as may be required.

A represents the body or case of the stove, which may be of any suitable form, and aranged for burning any kind of fuel. B is a drum, placed on the body A; and G is a pipe, which extends from the stove A upward within the drum. This pipe 0 is inclosed between .the partition-plates D D, the lower ends of which do not reach the top of the stove A, the upper ends being a trifle above the upper end of C, and a space, a, being allowed between the pipeG and each plate D, as shown clearly in Fig. 1.

E representthe valves or dampers, which may be of square or rectangular form, and hung on horizontal rods 1). These valves or dampers are so placed or arranged that they may be adjusted in an inclined position, as shown in blue in Fig. 1, so as to cover the space or passages to a, and also the top of 0, but not stop the communication between the top of C and a a; and also adjusted in an upright position, as shown in red, so as to form a continuation of pipe 0 and communicate directly with a pipe, F, leading from the top of the drum B, and either in a vertical or horizontal direction. These two valves or dampers may be connected by rods 1)" b one of which llas'a pin, 0, working in a slot, d, forming a connection by which both valves or dampers will be moved by moving either one of them; and a rod, G, passes through the side of the drum, and is attached to one of the dampers.

The pipe F is provided with two longitudinal partition-plates, H H, and two valves or dampers, I I, which work on points or journals c e.

The plates H H form three draft-passages, f g h, f communicating with the upper end of g, and the lower end ofg communicating with the lower end of 7b, the damper I being over the upper end off and g, and the damper I at the lower parts of g and 71, as shown clearly in Fig. 1.

When the dampers E E are closed, and also the dampers I I, as shown in blue in Fig. 1, the products of combustion from the stove A pass up through the pipe 0, down the passages a a, thence up through the drum B, at the outer sides of the partition-plates D D, up through the passage 1, down g, and up It into the flue, as indicated by the red arrows. 13y opening the dampers I I, as shown in red, the products of combustion will pass directly through the central passage, g and if an entirely direct draft is required, the dampers E E are opened, which admits ot' the products of combustion passing directly up through 0 and g.

The two dampers I I are connected by a rod, '2', to insure a simultaneous movement of both by operating one.

By this arrangement a long circuitous draft passage or flue is obtained when a large radi ation of heat is required, and the heat is radiated at quite a low point, or-near the floor, where most required.

The invention is well adapted for railroadcars, parlors, and all places where a heat-radiatin g stove is desirable.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent- 1. The pipe 0, leading from the stove A,

and the drum B, placed on the stove and inclosing pipe 0, in combination with the partition-plates D D and dampers E E, all arranged substantially as and for the purpose specified.

2. The partition-plates H H in the pipe F, forming the draft-passages f g h, and arranged with the dampers I I as shown, in combination with the drum B and the parts contained therein, as specified, and all-arranged to operate in the manner substantially as and for the purpose set forth. 1
